"What's one more torpedo in a sinking ship?"

Forgot an old favorite of mine: Sweetarts
Requires:
1 2-liter Sunkist (orange soda, whatever)
1 packet Cherry Kool-Aid
1 packet Grape Kool-Aid
1/2 bottle (appx. 375 mL) Bacardi or other rum
Pour out about 1/4 of Sunkist, so that it's filled to the top of the label on the 2-liter. Add Kool-Aid. Refill to original level with Bac. Shake well, wait (for the love of God, wait or you've got stained everything) and serve chilled.
Not exactly the manliest drink on the block, but it does taste exactly like it's moniker. Good for people who don't necessarily like the 'taste' of alcohol. Great warm-up drink, it's one of those that you don't realize is getting you intoximicated at first.
Brain (or Bloody Brain)
Fill shot glass about 2/3 full with apple or strawberry schnapps
Next, a dash of lime vodka (shot glass should be mostly full by now).
The mixture hopefully looks like formaldehyde.
Pour Baileys Irish Cream over a straw into the shot glass.
The cream should float on the surface.
Finally, add a couple of drops of grenadine - this should sink the coagulated cream into the depths of the shot glass, and the end result should look like a "bloody brain."
Enjoy. A drink with texture.

1. Get a Tom Collins glass
2. Add ice
3. Mix in: 4 oz. gin, 4 oz. vodka, 1/8 oz. Rose's lime juice
4. Fill the rest up with sour mix, 7-Up, whatever you please.
5. Garnish with maraschino cherry, lemon slice, lime.....yeah.
6. Drink 8-10 of these and you'll suffer dain bramage
In Fond du Lac, these are called S.B.s.....Suffering Bastards
In Oshkosh, these are called S.P.s.....Super Pissers
In either case it's a drink where you drink like three 'cuz they taste good, and then you realize you're wasted.

I just have to smell the fumes of hubby's scotch and I get a little woozy. By the way if you like zin and merlot, how do you feel about a nice shiraz? Beyond zin, Yellow Tail shiraz is a favorite.

Yep. Nothing to do with that drink that's like a gin and tonic and vodka gimlet mix.....Originally Posted by GrnBay007
ouch.....back in the day it was a Tanqueray gin gimlet w/ olive juice.Originally Posted by Iron Mike
Zig, I used to drink Malibu with cranberry juice, but pineapple juice is good, too.
My drink of choice depends....if I'm outside, and it's nice out, there is nothing I'd rather have than a Corona with a lime.
and hey, I LOVE Vodka Gimlets.
I can never pass up a good spicey bloody mary, either
Tequila, straight out the bottle or in a cup. No need for mixing it with anything.
Mad, i used to work with a guy that was from mexico. I think he had just recently crossed the river. He would talk about drinking tekillya, like most people talk about drinking beer. granted this guy was as big as a house, but that is one thing i stay away from, even the smell gives me a cause of the ya ya's.
It was a buddies b-day and we decided to go down the La Perla's (in Milwaukee, on National.) I think in order to work there you must be related to the guy mentioned above, cause i have never had a Margarrittas as strong. After the multi pitchers of Marg. we decided to test each others manhood by doing shots of 1800. Our girlfriends (now wives) had to carry us out of the place. It was a long cold ride home with my head out of the window. since that day, i have never had a sip, and once i saw the tab, i had to eat romin noodles for 2 months in order to cover the c.c. bill
What was the line from The Simpsons?
"To alcohol: the cause of...and solution to....all of life's problems."
Ah, yes. That's it.
Mostly enjoy nice cold Brews (like the micro's). But really enjoy Manhattan's!

On an unrelated note, is it wierd that I kind of want to get that $1000 Mint Julep they're gonna be selling at the Kentucky Derby? Granted, there's no way I'd pull the trigger and actually get it if I could even afford to get to and be at the Derby...but still...makes you wonder how good it could be...
Yeah, or the $200 hurricane from Pat O'Brians. That thing is AWESOME. You don't feel as highbrow as the folks drinking the $1,000 mint julep, of course.
Holy hell...
I had a friend tell me about it and thought he was joking, but I guess it's serious.
There's such a thing as a "Martini on the rock" sold at the Algonquin hotel in New York. The price tag: up to $1,000,000. The kicker is when they say "on the rock", they're referring to the big F'n diamond that's at the bottom of the glass.
For the record, it has to be straight pineapple. It loses something with the banana and strawberry in there.Originally Posted by GBMichele
